Four-mode phase-sensitive (4MPS) process has been employed in a parametric mixer based wavelength multicaster, enhancing the multicasting conversion efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio. In addition, 4MPS multicaster is an outstanding candidate for all-optical regeneration, owing to its inherent capabilities clamp amplitude fluctuations by saturated effect squeeze phase distortions sensitive process. The investigation this paper focuses on operated saturation gain regime, including theoretical simulations experimental demonstrations noise regeneration over 20 signal copies.
